Being a working mother with a small budget and little time, I make a lot of dishes using ground beef, explains Alice McCauley of Beaumont, Texas. When our son complained about having meat loaf again, I came up with this taco-seasoned version. The whole family loves it served with sour cream and extra salsa. Ingredients:
4 cups cooked shredded hash brown potatoes |
1/4 cup salsa |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons vegetable soup mix |
2 tablespoons taco seasoning |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided |
2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, salsa, egg, soup mix, taco seasoning and 1 cup cheese. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into a 12-in. loaf. Place in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
2. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 6-8 servings.
